A Wave in The Air
04:09

Prisoners of the smoke
How do you know when you’re lost
If everywhere you go
You’re among other ghosts?
Love is a wave in the air
Love is a wave in the air
There’s no escape once we’re there
Love is a wave in the air
Have you ever spoke
With a friend you don’t know?
Have you seen a cloak
Lift away with a joke?
Love is a wave in the air
Love is a wave in the air
There is a space we can share
Love is a wave in the air
Love is a wave in the air
Love is a wave in the air
Never too late for our prayer
Love is a wave in the air
Do you dare to hope
In this howling unknown?
Trust and guts and soul
Are the guides and the goal
Love is a wave in the air
Love is a wave in the air
This is a strain we can bear
Love is a wave in the air

Excited to Be Indicted
02:55

I was standing…Out on my own…Looking for direction…To try to find my home
I got nowhere to go…And all the time in the world
I sleep in my flag…Keep it all unfurled
Can’t be bothered to look ‘em in the eye.
Shut the gate out, keep your fate out
I crawled out from under a rock…I don’t know where I came from but I know my mind is spinning and I need a friend
Can’t bring that mirror to your eyes.
In a separate state, so far so late.
Mister policeman body cam…Kicking at me in a terrible jam
Running by the lights by the night of day…I got nowhere else to stay
Can’t be brought out from your disguise.
Being just so, hiding in the know.
Kick it oo! Kick it oo! Kick it kick it on down…Hidden away…Don’t make yourself sound
Like you know-what-you’re talking about…‘Cause you don’t and
It’s the same old story and you know that it won’t stop
ooo OOO ooo! It won’t stop…No one can stop it…There’s something pouring down on me
If I get indicted I won’t be knighted I’ll be requited
I’ll be breaking the way I’ll be excited I’ll be waiting to stay
I won’t be here I won’t be there I won’t be anywhere
If I get indicted I won’t be knighted I’ll be requited
I’ll be breaking the way I’ll be excited I’ll be waiting to stay
I won’t be here I won’t be there I won’t be anywhere

You’re lolling on the bottom floor
You’re rolling toward another shore
Song lines to the beaches
Songs lines to the shoals
Song lines that are reaching their goal
Your father’s not the furthest out
Your daughter’s got it figured out
Song lines to the beaches
Songs lines to the shoals
Song lines that are reaching their goal
This whale is gonna carry on
This whale is gonna carry on
This whale is gonna keep on keeping on
You sing a song of highs and lows
And endless tune that floats and flows
Song lines to the beaches
Songs lines to the shoals
Song lines that are reaching their goal
This whale is gonna carry on
This whale is gonna carry on
This whale is gonna keep on keeping on
This whale is gonna carry on

River of Love
02:18

I’m wide ………….I’m strong ………………
I’m deep………….I’m long ………..
I’ve got love like a river, a river of love
Inside I’m a giver, I’m wide like a river
A river of love……………………………………
I’m lost ………….I’m found ………………
We’re all just floppin’ around………..
I’ve got love like a river, a river of love
Inside I’m a giver, I’m wide like a river
A river of love……………………………………
Current’s rushing sometimes .. others painfully slow
Navigate the waters stay always in the flow
Stay away from the shore line The eddy’s will trap you there
When I’m back In the middle .. I find I’m everywhere
Inside you’re a giver, you’re wide like a river
A river of love…………………………………
A river of love………………………
A river of love…………………………………
A river of love.

It's Very Nice
03:06

Better to light one candle
Than curse the big bad dark
If you’ve got all you can handle
Brother I’ll throw you a spark
It’s very nice…Very nice…Very nice indeed
Very nice indeed…Very nice indeed
Sister we know what we’re missing
Acting so cold and so hard
But we get a glimpse of the essence—
It glows through the cracks in our hearts
It’s very nice…Very nice…Very nice indeed
Very nice indeed…Very nice indeed
Words get blurry, their meanings blear
An ambiguous atmosphere
Notes get smudgy, ink gets smeared
We’ve gotta make the message clear:
It’s very nice!
There isn’t a someone among us
Who’s never been lost or afraid
We all know a song that can summon
The soul that it takes to be brave
It’s very nice…Very nice…Very nice indeed
Very nice indeed…Very nice indeed

Traveler
02:26

Got my eye on my horizon
I keep on pushing forward.
The Arc of the circumference
is where I’m headed toward
Verily, traveler where are you going?
Verily, traveler… what are you showing me?
I got leverage in my pocket
and all the magic keys.
The privilege of position
The trappings of dis-ease.
Verily, traveler where are you going?
Verily, traveler… what are you showing me?
Simple ways in a runaround maze my tears are streaming down
Joy and sadness all the same
my traveler is found----- --
my traveler is found ----------
Simple ways in a runaround maze my tears are streaming down
Joy and sadness all the same
my traveler is found----- --
my traveler is found ----------

Vanishing Again
02:26

Revery…Just a little bit of fantasy…Is all you ever really need to see…
Your lady… leaves you…with a sigh…
You’re feeling clenched and dry-y
Then she…turns and…with a smile…
This is how she SAYS GOODBY-YE
I’ll come back and bring the rain with me…
I’ll come back and soothe your soul sane
Through a crack a little river whisper…Vanishes a-GAIN
Awaken…shaken…from a dream…
Guessing what it me-eans
Glints and…bits of…memories.
Reassemble SUDDENLY-Y
Revery…Just a little bit of fantasy…Is all you ever really need to see…the gleam inside your Dre-eams…
It’s never…long but…sure is sweet
And anything you savour
Disa… ppears but …Is complete
And as it fades aWAY IT SA-AYS
I’ll come back and bring the rain with me…
I’ll come back and soothe your soul sane
Through a crack a little river whisper…Vanishes a-GAIN
Vanishes a-GAIN… Vanishes a-GAIN…

See One World

I see you better when I close my eyes
The illusion of distance is less of a disguise
Somebody told me not to grasp your hand.
Far too many miles for us to understand
Everywhere around the world, the sun shines just the same
The wind blows and the rain falls and it happens again and again
Hatred spawns division … and anguish feeling small
What if we grew bigger .. and made the room for all?
I saw you better when I closed my eyes.
The illusion of distance was less of a surprise
Mystery taught me I could trust in this.
Buoyant and worldly, enveloped in bliss
Everywhere around the world, the sun shines just the same
The wind blows and the rain falls and it happens again and again
Hatred spawns division … and anguish feeling small
What if we grew bigger .. and made the room for all?

How Much You Got
03:12

Money's funny - except it's NOT
Money's funny - how much you got?
When there's honey - in your POT
Tell me honey - how much you got?
Sittin’ there on your velvet throne
Coast is clear .. but you just don’t know
Why you want to go and run away and say - hey!
Money's funny - except it's NOT
Money's funny - how much you got?
When there's honey - in your POT
Tell me honey - how much you got?
Feel the boom when it shakes your heart
Chase the wave while it breaks apart
And the roar upon the silent shore will say – hey!
Money's funny - except it's NOT
Money's funny - how much you got?
When there's honey - in your POT
Tell me honey - how much you got?
There’s a chance that there’s more to know
When you sense that you’re not alone
And you join the mighty ocean roar and say -hey!

I became homeless a year ago today.
Walked into a church and I began to pray
Prayed for my good fortune, for a miracle to come. But what is my salvation and where would it come from?
The preacher spoke of heaven and of our common fate
And then the organ bellowed and I saw the passing of the plate
It wasn’t ringing true for me and the cash was rising high.
Maybe my salvation was to grab and say goodbye --------
I don’t believe in heaven, so what the hell.
I’m gonna grab my good fortune and say farewell
The Lord may not like this so please don’t tell
I don’t believe in heaven, so what the …
I don’t believe in heaven, so what the hell.
I don’t believe in heaven, … ... so what the hell.
